A very fancy and great restaurant :-) definitely recommend it, the vibe is so classy and romantic. A great place for drinking wine. Overall I had a great experience and the mood was great. the server was super helpful and nice. we got two pastas, basil pesto and pumpkin ravioli. Both were super good. it is hard to find good pastas ;-)

Bellevue location of Purple great for the business meeting lunch and easy to walk to if you are working in the area. They do validate parking if you are driving over so that is a big plus. Hip atmosphere and plenty of seating. Good salad choice and regular fares like burgers and some seafood with just right servings for lunch.

Nice enough place. Big enough that it's not too crowded. Food is well prepared and on-par for pricing in Bellevue. However, I do think the menu is a bit lacking. Really geared more for drinking than a vast dining choices.

Service was absolutely amazing, food was amazing, everything!!! Will be coming back for seconds, and thirds.

We eat here pretty often and have never been disappointed in the food. I particularly love the chicken Marsala it is delicious. The filet mug on is also fantastic. Great wine selections and I love that they decant it as it always tastes better that way.

After the last visit to a different Purple restaurant was less than favorable, the desire for a good dinner with wine lead me to the Purple in Bellevue. I have been to this Purple many times for lunch but not yet for dinner. Dinner here did not disappoint. With the same menu selections the pasta was done perfect with sauces done perfect without leaving a salty flavor that seemed to linger in my mouth. The Wild Boar Bolognese was excellent, the pesto and pasta plate was fantastic with the perfect texture on the pasta and pesto with a slight creaminess and the hint of pine nuts. Although there was a slight mistake on a special request, it was corrected very quickly and an extra drink was brought out to compensate. The chicken marsala was another prize winner with chicken with a crisp texture with chicken that was done to perfection. To top everything off there was a definite need for a couple desserts to try. I am not much of a sweets person but the creme brulee and chocolate lava cake was great and provided a great finish to the meal. Between the pasta dishes, wine, desserts and excellent service, this place is now on favorites list.

Had the wild boar Bolognese and it was fantastic. So filling and very delicious. Service was excellent too, we had made a reservation for 3 but wound up with an extra person and they graciously sat us at a bigger table in a more private area for our working lunch.

Cannot emphasize how much I enjoyed the ambiance, food, and drinks at Purple. Sitting at the bar can be a bit of a gamble, but I was well taken care of and enjoyed the 3-course menu. Lots of options for those steering clear of red meat, and an incredible selection of wine and cocktails. I recommend the gorgonzola dates and the steelhead main. Will definitely return next time I am in town!

Love the shoestring fries here!! They are delicious. Got a few appetizers and a glass of Moscato. The Brie was good and so were the fried cauliflower. Would come back here to try other dishes. Service was fast and our server knew a lot about wine to give good recommendations. Got the molten lava cake for dessert and it was pretty good. Overall the food is good but a little pricey.
Went to the Royal Biscut for the first time on mother's day and was blown away by the biscuits and gravy platter. And for the price you can't beat it. I'd highly recommend this place if you like to go out and eat breakfast.Breakfast! My fave. This place is clean, efficient, and has amazingly fluffy biscuits. The portions are way too big

Somewhat pretentious. However, that being said... They have great food! Ambiance is acceptable. Service slightly slow but friendly enough to make up for it. Expensive but worth it for a good occasional night out. And they did well with substitutions for my allergies and preferences!

Really enjoyed going here for dinner with friends. The food was decent & I loved the large wine selection. Service was just okay.

I've been here a few times. Each time worse than the last. Something about the atmosphere makes me want to like this place but the service and food consistently disappoints. Each time I visit this Purple I am met with extremely rude servers. Today was my fifth visit and certainly my last. First, there is ALWAYS something wrong with the food. There are many examples but today I ordered the chop salad and my avocado on top was ENTIRELY black. I picked it off my salad because the server never came back after dropping it off for me to speak with her. By the time she came my meal was finished and she said "here's your check" and set it on the table not acknowledging that myself and my friends had all picked our black avocado off our meals. Second, the service. Every time I come to this establishment the employees are rude. If I ask a question it's answered with attitude, if I explain a dietary need they roll their eyes, today I asked for a wine and they didn't have it. Rather than explaining and offering a suggestion she looked at me disgusted until I chose something else. Leaving two stars since the food is fresh. But, this restaurant is far too expensive for the food and staff to represent themselves this way. I'll stick to the other heavy restaurant group options.

Great spot. Gastropub like to me, with a very dark and rustic vibe. Flavored unique drinks and sodas here along with a really comprehensive menu of options. I got the soup and sandwich combo and overall had a great experience. Again here with the company so I wasn't paying lol, but overall meal with non-alcoholic drink was about $30 bucks total. I thought it was cool
